Most students join Handshake when they receive an invitation email from their school’s Career Services Center.

If you know your school uses Handshake, and you have not received information about how to create your Handshake profile, you can create an account manually. Likewise, if you received a welcome email from your school, but can’t locate it, please contact your Career Services Center and ask them to resend the email. Note: If your school has already created an account for you, and you try to create a new one, you’ll receive an error, so we advise you to connect with your Career Services Center to help you get started.

If your school is not yet using Handshake, you can register for an account manually, but you will have very limited access to Handshake’s content and features. You will have greater access if you are a student or alumni of a school using Handshake.

To register for a Handshake account:

To get started on Handshake go to yourschool.joinhandshake.com - this is very important so you get connected to the correct school

Once you’ve confirmed your email address, you are registered as a student and may now log in to complete your Handshake profile! If you only see Fairs and your profile on the left hand navigation bar you will need to reach out to your career center to be linked to your school.
